Lions field four senior grades

The Woy Woy Rugby Union Club has over 70 registered players for four senior grades this year.

"The enthusiasm at training has been excellent and, with 20 new players joining the club, things are looking good at the Lions," said club coach Mr Ross Hopkins.

"The club has picked up quality players from Sydney, Newcastle and other Central Coast clubs to further the depth and player strength."

Paul Burkwood has recently been appointed second grade coach and Steve Hopley will coach the third grade.

The whole club, both juniors and seniors, has increased in registrations and is not far away from being the premier club on the Central Coast.

The senior club trains Tuesdays and Thursdays at Woy Woy oval starting at 6.30pm and the juniors train out of Ettalong oval.

The Lions first game is against Kariong at Woy Woy oval on April 9 with a 3pm kick-off.

They then travel to The Entrance on April 16, then onto the first of their four night games against Terrigal on April 23 at Woy Woy oval.

The Lions are seeking businesses to sponsor the club.

With the introduction of a Colts side this year, players under 20 are wanted for this season.
